[[Page 76796]]


    The proposed amendment would result in the following Export 
Products under Export Trade in the Certificate:

Export Products

    ALCC plans to export frozen at-sea, headed and gutted, Alaska cod 
(Gadus macrocephalus), also known as Pacific cod. Headed and gutted 
means the head and viscera are removed prior to freezing. Frozen-at-sea 
means that the Alaska cod is frozen on the longline catcher-processor 
vessel while at-sea immediately after being headed and gutted. The 
catch accrues against cod allocations to the Members.
    ALCC also plans to export byproducts of ALCC frozen-at-sea, headed 
and gutted Alaska cod, caught via hook-and-line gear: cod heads; cod 
collars; cod roe; cod chu; cod milt; ray wings; headed and gutted 
pollock; headed and gutted sablefish; sablefish heads; sablefish 
collars. The cod heads, cod collars, cod roe, cod chu, and cod milt are 
derived from parts of the Alaska cod remaining after the heading-and-
gutting of the cod to produce frozen-at-sea headed and gutted Alaska 
cod. The ray wings are derived from various species of skate, which are 
caught incidentally while targeting Alaska cod. The remaining products 
are also products and byproducts that are caught incidentally while 
targeting Alaska cod, except as specified below.
    ALCC also plans to export the following products and byproducts 
caught on longline catcher-processor vessels using longline hook-and-
line and longline pot gear: headed and gutted sablefish; sablefish 
heads; sablefish collars. The catch accrues against sablefish 
allocations to the Members.
    ALCC also plans to export the following products and byproducts 
caught on longline catcher-processor vessels using longline hook-and-
line gear and, when permitted by regulation, longline pot gear: headed, 
gutted, and tailed Greenland turbot; and turbot heads. The catch 
accrues against Greenland turbot allocations to the Members.
    Membership remains the same following this amendment:
    1. Akulurak LLC, Seattle, WA;
    2. Alaskan Leader Fisheries LLC, Lynden, WA;
    3. Alaskan Leader Seafoods LLC, Lynden, WA;
    4. Alaskan Leader Vessel LLC, Lynden, WA;

    6. Aleutian Spray Fisheries, Inc., Seattle, WA;
    7. Beauty Bay Washington, LLC, Bothell, WA;

    9. Bristol Leader Fisheries LLC, Lynden, WA;
    10. Bristol Wave Seafoods, LLC, Seattle, WA;
    11. Coastal Alaska Premier Seafoods, LLC, Anchorage, AK;
